I compared it to a more normal 50 scaled stat build
because unlike most mage elemental damage, a good number don't get to add their scaled weapon attack to it
PRE GR most elemental damage in classes that were not Mages, scaled DIRECTLY off a stat.
Thats the spirit of those skills, now you are arguing to force non mages to put points in will or get weakened, while this thread which is about getting mages back to their roots, needing will power, doesn't do jack to fixing it. They were already soft capping will power and going a bit higher on their elemental attack stats, that match their tomes and at worst means...1-2 difference in elemental attack.
this change doesn't affect mages at all. it only effects non mages.
it doesn't fix the issue of tank mages, the issue of tank mages, is tank scaling tomes, that their scaled weapon attack goes into spells, it doesn't matter how you balance out where they get their elemental attack from if they can still wield a tome and pump those defensive stats into straight damage.
